In Jan-1960 J.F.K., Jackie, and then Governor of Texas L.B.J. came in the Show Bar where I was performing in New Orleans. The [sic] joined Governor Earl K. Long, who I was engaged to at the time, at his table. I joined the table after my show. Jackie left after about ten minutes. I had known J.F.K. since 1952. He was a regular where I worked a club. In D.C. At closing time, the party, plus about a dozen show girls, went to the Roosevelt Hotel, where Earl kept a suite. L.B.J. said lets make Earl jealous. So I took J.F.K.'s hand and led him to another room. He led me right on into a large closet. Earl was so busy talking, he didn't miss us. L.B.J. stood guard at the door. I took my Bra, tied it to a door knob, and a hanger. We were having a grand old time, when I heard Earl yelling and a hollering, Where is Blaze and that young Kennedy Feller. I put my sweater on, I already had my skirt and shoes on. I left my Bra hanging, and came out. Earl said now what in the world are you doing in there. J.F.K. slid to the back of the closet. I said my mink coat is missing. While every one hunted for the coat, J.F.K. slipped out of the closet. J.F.K. said it was harder to win my body than any election he had ever been in...Blaze Starr''. 8.5'' x 11'' letter is adorned with a self-portrait sketch and a lipstick kiss. Near fine condition.
